Juve wastes chance
to clinch title with loss
ROME---Juventus wasted a chance
to clinch a record sixth straight
Serie A title with a 3-1 loss at rival
Roma yesterday.
Stephan El Shaarawy put Roma 2-1
ahead early in the second half with a
long, low shot that was deflected by
Juventus fullback Stephan Lichtsteiner.
Radja Nainggolan added another for the
hosts to hand the Bianconeri their first
league loss since a defeat to Fiorentina
in January.
Mario Lemina was set up by Gon-
zalo Higuain to give Juventus the lead
midway through the first half but Dan-
iele De Rossi equalised for Roma four
minutes later.
With two rounds remaining, Juven-
tus' lead over Roma was reduced to four
points. Napoli is third, one point further
back, after its 5-0 rout of Torino earlier.
Juventus' last two matches are
against relegation-threatened Crotone
and Bologna.
Set to face Lazio in the Italian Cup
final on Wednesday and Real Madrid
in the Champions League final next
month, Juventus is aiming for a treble.
Perhaps with those fixtures in mind,
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri
chose to rest standout playmaker Paulo
Dybala.
After a strong start from Roma,
Juventus fullback Kwadwo Asamoah
hit the post seven minutes into a fast-
paced first half.
Higuain met a long pass from Stefano
Sturaro at the edge of the goalbox with
a volley that enabled Lemina to bang
the ball in. Then De Rossi knocked in a
close-range rebound from a header by
Kostas Manolas.
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buf-
fon appeared confused by Lichtsteiner's
deflection when he was beaten by El
Shaarawy's shot, which deflected in
off the far post.
Nainggolan then traded passes with
Mohamed Salah before evading two de-
fenders---including former Roma team-
mate Miralem Pjanic---to beat Buffon
inside the near post. (AP)
Spurs edges Man U in fitting farewell
LONDON---Tottenham
signed out of White Hart
Lane and Hull left the Pre-
mier League.
Yesterday's results meant
there's only Champions League
qualification at stake entering
the final week of the season.
Tottenham locked down sec-
ond place by beating Manches-
ter United 2-1 in its final game
before leaving its north Lon-
don home of 118 years. Totten-
ham's hopes of catching newly
crowned champion Chelsea
ended a week ago, but it was still
able to secure its highest finish
in 54 years.
Tottenham's triumph ended
Jose Mourinho's hopes of Unit-
ed making the top four, leaving
three teams chasing the last two
Champions League spots: Liv-
erpool, which beat West Ham
4-0 on Sunday, Manchester City
and Arsenal.
The three relegation spots
have also been filled. Hull joined
Sunderland and Middlesbrough
in dropping into the second tier
after losing 4-0 at Crystal Pal-
ace.
Tottenham 2,
Manchester United 1
Tottenham is leaving White
Hart Lane after completing its
best campaign at the stadium
for more than a century. Spurs
are due back on the site in a new
61,000-seat stadium in August
2018, after a season at Wembley.
Victor Wanyama's sixth-min-
ute header set the tone for a
carnival atmosphere and Harry
Kane added his 28th goal of the
season at the start of the sec-
ond half. United captain Wayne
Rooney pulled one back but Tot-
tenham held on to win before a
ceremony, featuring past and
current players, to bid farewell
to the stadium. United's hopes
of qualifying for the Champions
League now rest on beating Ajax
in the Europa League final later
this month
Westham 0, Liverpool 4
Philippe Coutinho set up
Daniel Sturridge before add-
ing a superb double of his own.
Divock Origi completed the
rout with a tap-in as Liverpool
ensured it will qualify for the
Champions League, regardless
of other results, by beating rel-
egated Middlesbrough in next
Sunday's season finale.
Crystal Palace 4, Hull 0
Crystal Palace manager Sam
Allardyce maintained his status
as a survival specialist, having
never been relegated in manage-
ment. Marco Silva couldn't save
Hull, though, in his five months
in charge. Hull never recovered
after gifting Zaha a third-min-
ute goal. It was followed by
Christian Benteke's header,
Luka Milivojevic's 85th-min-
ute penalty and Patrick van
Aanholt's late strike. (AP)
Barca, Madrid win as title
race goes to final round
MADRID---Barcelona and Real Madrid won
their matches yesterday with the Spanish
league title race now guaranteed to go to the
final round.
Neymar scored a hat trick for Barcelona in a
comfortable 4-1 win at Las Palmas, while Cris-
tiano Ronaldo scored a pair of goals for Madrid in
a 4-1 home victory over Sevilla.
Madrid scored with an unusual goal by Nacho
Fernandez, who sent a quickly taken free kick into
the net while the Sevilla defence and goalkeeper
were preparing to set up a wall.
The results left the rivals even on points, with
Barcelona ahead on the head-to-head tiebreaker.
But Madrid can retake sole possession of the lead
on Wednesday when it plays at Celta Vigo in a game
postponed from February.
Madrid needs four points from its last two games
to secure the title regardless of Barcelona's result
against Eibar at home next weekend. Madrid's final
game is at Malaga. Madrid is trying to win its first
league title since 2012, while Barcelona is seeking
its third straight La Liga trophy.
In other results: Alaves 3, Celta Vigo 1; Athletic
Bilbao 1, Leganes 1; Eibar 0, Sporting Gijon 1; Real
Betis 1, Atletico Madrid 1; Real Sociedad 2, Malaga
2; and Villarreal 0, Deportivo La Coruna 0. (AP)

Strategy to finally pay off
Komodo is strongly-fancied to make it third
time lucky in a three-year-old Maiden Auction
Stakes over seven furlongs of 'good to firm'
Wetherby today, when Jedd O'Keefe's charge
will again be ridden by rapidly-aspiring ap-
prentice, Jack Garrity.
No surprise to witness such progress, Jack has
probably been 'on
the saddle' since
birth being the
son of Northern
jumping legend,
Russ. Lost his
claim last year and
is an integral part
of Richard Fahey's
'winning machine'
at Malton.
Garrity teamed
up with heavily-backed Komodo for a similar mis-
sion at Thirsk last month when confronted with
our nap, Keyzer Soze.
Although the latter was a decisive winner there
was no mistaking the impression given by runner-up
Komodo, beaten just under three lengths; they were
well spread out behind, always a sure sign of good
form and a fast-run race.
Red Royalist comes out marginally better and is
journeyed from Marcus Tregoning's southern-based
yard but we're always aiming for one of three places
with half-decent prices available and Komodo is
selected.
Romanor is also attempting to go one better in an
'aged' Maiden Stakes over ten furlongs of Windsor
tonight when ground conditions are forecast 'good'
with showers expected.
Nineteen days ago Romanor stormed into sec-
ond at Epsom where Ed Walker's charge had be-
come detached around Tattenham corner; it was
eye-catching and prompted a 'next time' in my
thought process.
Both Highland Cradle (Stoute) and See Of Rome
(Hughes) are certain to be well-backed but need to
improve if Romanor replicates, or indeed improves,
his last time out time-handicap mark
Earlier consistent, hitherto luckless Secret Strat-
egy should finally obtain 'winning brackets' in a
five-runner Maiden Stakes over five furlongs of
'good to firm' Brighton; what beats him will win.
Stuttgart, Hannover
all but certain to
return to Bundesliga
BERLIN---Hannover defeated German second
division leader Stuttgart 1-0 yesterday to move
level on points and virtually assure that both
sides will return to the Bundesliga next season.
Felix Klaus scored five minutes before the break
to delay Stuttgart's promotion with one round of
games remaining.
Eintracht Braunschweig, the only side that can
theoretically catch either side, is three points behind
both after its 6-0 rout by Arminia Bielefeld, with
an inferior goal difference--six goals worse than
Hannover and 10 worse than Stuttgart.
Both Stuttgart and Hannover were relegated from
the Bundesliga last season.
Braunschweig is assured of at least a promotion/
relegation playoff against the side that finishes third
from bottom in the Bundesliga, currently Ham-
burger SV, after Union Berlin's increasingly faint
hopes of promotion were ended in a 1-0 defeat at
home to Heidenheim.
Union remained fourth, six points behind Braun-
schweig.
Bielefeld's win lifted it out of the relegation zone
on goal difference from 1860 Munich, which slipped
into the playoff place after losing 2-1 at home to
Bochum. Wuerzburger Kickers slipped into a direct
relegation spot after its 1-0 defeat at home to SV
Sandhausen, which ensured survival. (AP)
